Ob uns ein Raum gefällt oder nicht, ist in hohem Maße davon abhängig, wie seine Farblandschaft gestaltet ist, die wir bei seinem Betreten sehen: Was ist hier wichtig? In welche Richtung soll ich mich bewegen? Wie ist das Licht und wie die Atmosphäre? Wirkt die Umgebung harmonisch? Will ich hier verweilen? Die Farben im Raum liefern uns Antworten auf solche Fragen. Farbe ist ein ebenso faszinierendes wie vielschichtiges Thema, das man nur über Zusammenhänge verstehen kann: Funktion und Emotion, Licht und Schatten, Sprache und Material. All diese Faktoren werden in praxisnahen Anleitungen für Farbkonzepte dargestellt, die Mensch, Raum, Farbe und Licht aufeinander abstimmen. Wie gestaltet man gebaute Räume, die ebenso wohltuend, zeitlos und harmonisch auf uns einwirken wie die Farblandschaften der Natur?

Whether we like a room or not largely depends on the design of the color landscape that we perceive when we enter the room. What is the key? In what direction should I move? What is the light like, and how is the atmosphere? Does the environment have a harmonious effect? Do I want to stay here? The colors in a room provide us with answers to such questions. Color is a subject that is as fascinating as it is multifaceted; it is a subject that can only be understood in context – function and emotion, light and shadow, language and material. All these factors are presented in a practical guide to color concepts that create a harmonious accord between people, space, color, and light. How can we design built spaces that affect us in an equally beneficial, timeless, and harmonious way as the color landscapes of nature?
